FAQs

What specific Skylo cistern models is this pack compatible with?

This pack is designed for all Skylo cistern fittings. It's recommended to visually compare the parts in the kit with your existing components or check your cistern's manual for confirmation.

Do I need to replace both the flush valve seal and fill valve washers at the same time?

Not necessarily. You can replace only the part that is causing the issue. However, it is good practice to keep the other spare parts for future maintenance.

What tools are typically needed for installation?

Basic tools like a screwdriver (usually a flathead) and potentially pliers might be needed for disassembly and reassembly of the cistern components.

How long should these replacement washers last?

With proper installation and normal use, these replacement parts should provide reliable service for several years, similar to the original components.

Can I use these washers in a cistern from a different brand?

No, this kit is specifically designed for Skylo cistern fittings and may not be compatible with other brands.

What should I do if the cistern continues to leak after replacing the seal?

Ensure the flush valve seal is perfectly flat and seated correctly on the valve body. Also, check the flush valve seat for any scratches or debris that might prevent a proper seal.

Troubleshooting

Cistern still leaks after replacing the flush valve seal.

Ensure the new seal is seated perfectly flat against the valve body and that there are no obstructions. Check the flush valve seat for any damage or debris.

Fill valve not stopping water, cistern overflows.

Verify the correct fill valve diaphragm washer (UNI/SD or PP00/D) has been installed and is properly seated. Ensure the fill valve itself is not damaged or clogged.

Cistern fills very slowly.

Confirm the water supply is fully open and that the inlet to the fill valve is not obstructed. Ensure the diaphragm washer is correctly installed.

Flush mechanism feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Check that all parts within the flush valve assembly are correctly aligned and that no part of the new seal is catching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides all necessary seals and washers for common Skylo cistern problems.
  • Helps prevent water waste caused by leaky cisterns.
  • Extends the lifespan of existing Skylo cistern fittings.
  • Simple to install for those with basic DIY plumbing knowledge.
  • A cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire cistern mechanism.

Cons

  • Only compatible with Skylo cistern fittings; not a universal solution.
  • Requires the user to identify the specific issue (flush or fill valve) to know which part to replace.
  • Installation may require some basic plumbing familiarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for all Skylo cistern fittings. Before purchasing, confirm that your existing cistern uses Skylo components. The included part numbers (SKY095, UNI/SD, PP00/D) can help verify compatibility with your current parts.

Setup/Installation:

  1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet cistern.
  2. Flush the toilet to empty the cistern.
  3. Carefully disassemble the flush valve and/or fill valve mechanism according to Skylo's standard procedure for your model.
  4. Remove the old seal and/or diaphragm washers.
  5. Install the new parts from the Skylo Spare Washer Pack, ensuring they are seated correctly.
  6. Reassemble the cistern mechanism.
  7. Turn the water supply back on and test the flush and fill functions.

Care: These are replacement parts and do not require separate care. Proper installation is key to their longevity. Ensure no harsh chemicals are used within the cistern that could degrade the rubber components over time.
